How To Paint Vinyl Flooring

Introduction

Replacing outdated or worn-out flooring is a costly, time-consuming project that's not always feasible.

As we work to update every space in our 1970s colonial home, we're trying to be savvy with how we spend our time and money. The vinyl flooring in our small mudroom had certainly seen better days. I searched for a budget-friendly way to update it that would be beautiful and durable, but I wasn't sure — can you paint vinyl flooring?

Turns out you can, and I found the perfect product to do so. Rust-Oleum Home Floor Coating is specifically made for painting tile, vinyl and linoleum floors. It didn't require any cumbersome prep work like sanding or priming, so I completed the transformation in less than two hours over the course of two days. For a reasonable cost, I took my mudroom floors from dingy and dated to clean and modern.

Follow these step-by-step instructions to revitalize the floors in your own mudroom, kitchen, bathroom or elsewhere in your home.

Note: The Rust-Oleum Coating comes in several colors, along with a matte or semi-gloss top coat. Whether you purchase it in person or online, be sure it's tinted to the color of your choosing, otherwise you'll be painting your floors white.
